I'm A Celebrity's Ant and Dec alarmed as Georgia Toffolo the victim of 'horrifying' trial twist

Ant and Dec told a shell shocked Georgia Toffolo they were just as 'surprised' as her by a terrifying twist in her trial on Wednesday night, which saw her suddenly plunged from a secret trap door into the darkness and water below, something the former winner told the hosts she thought she'd "never recover" from.

Made in Chelsea favourite and ex I'm A Celebrity Queen of the Jungle, Toff is back on the ITV show for its new All Stars run. She arrived in South Africa as one of a trio of late arrivals, alongside Andy Whyment and Myleene Klass. The celebs in the main camp were informed of their entrance by letter and then instructed to pick just one to do the next trial on their behalf.

After a vote brought a 5-5 draw between Toff and Andy, Toff was eventually selected after a game of rock, paper, scissors, being told of the result and that she'd be facing the Dreaded Drains challenge.

But, while Toff quickly got the gist that she'd be crawling through tunnels, what she wasn't expecting was the platform she was crawling on to give way, plunging her face down into a deep pool of water, as the lights then went out, leaving her totally terrified.

Thankfully, Toff managed to soldier out and, while admitting to Ant and Dec, she was 'freaking out' at one point. she emerged from the drains with eight stars, being branded a 'warrior' and a 'hero' by I'm A Celebrity viewers.

As she got back onto higher ground, Toff admitted to the presenters that she 'wasn't OK,' and didn't know if she'd 'ever recover' and and that is when Dec told her: "Some of that was as big a surprise to us as it was to you."

Toff's reward for doing the trial was to join main camp, but that ended up being a bit of a poison chalice, as she was then told she would have to give one of the other stars to the boot to join Andy and Myleene in the much more basic Savanna Scrub.
